Green Day is collaborating with Garbage Pail Kids for a trading card set called Battle of the Bands, featuring 100 cards inspired by the band's history, characters like Billie Boogers, and references to their songs. The collaboration draws on the original Garbage Pail Kids' anti-establishment roots, a parody on Cabbage Patch Kids by cartoonist Art Spiegelman, which were controversial upon release in 1985, facing bans due to their grotesque humor. The cards will be released by Topps on August 27.
The Green Day x Garbage Pail Kids: Battle of the Bands set includes 100 cards inspired by the band's history, featuring characters like Billie Boogers and Burnt Dirnt.
Originally released in 1985, Garbage Pail Kids cards were banned in schools and some countries for their shock value and dark humor, parodying Cabbage Patch Kids.
